Gender-Affirming Parenting for Transgender and Gender Diverse Youth: A Scoping Review

Listen to this summary

This scoping review aims to provide an overview of existing evidence regarding gender-affirming parenting for transgender and gender diverse (TGD) youth, highlighting the characteristics of parental affirmation, their experiences and needs, and the impact on TGD health outcomes. The review identifies significant gaps in the literature, particularly in terms of study diversity and methodology, suggesting a need for future research that focuses on individuals with intersecting marginalized identities to better inform tailored interventions.
